excellent trip --- ship was terrific -- Carol Brocksmith from Avoya planned everything perfectly --- She is a wonderful agent and very easy and pleasant to work with

We found the Viking Mars (which, as I understand, is the same as all their ships) to be comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. With the Thermal Spa, Wintergarden and ample places to hang out we enjoyed sea days in a way we never did before. The staff was friendly, the service was very good. The the ship quickly becomes your floating home away from home. This is not a cruise if you are into lively music and blockbuster shows. The entertainers we did have were quite adequate, mostly low key. The exception was the duo in the nightclub bar (Torshavn) - they were as good as we've seen at

What a fantastic Viking cruise! From India all the way to Athens, Greece we had an amazing experience. So much to see and such wonderful excursions. We absolutely loved everything about this cruise!

This cruise was my worst one for the following reasons 1. Too much time on the ship 2. Entertainment was very bad and no games such as bingo 3. No classes such as Zumba or aqua classes 4- excursions were short and really bad 5 food quality were sub optimal 6. Time spend in each country/port were too short. We didn’t see anything in Malaysia and Singapore

Weather was terrible

We booked this trip two years prior to the ship being completed and christened anticipating our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Then, of course, COVID came. The trip was cancelled and rightfully so. We booked again for the following year; COVID continued, the trip was again rightfully cancelled, and we, of course booked it again, this time on the soon to be christened Mars and doing the itinerary in reverse. Was it the five years of anticipation? Was it the fact that time marches on and we are now five years more senior? Was it COVID grumpiness? Or was it just too much Viking Ocea

Good help from Avoya consultant David Locke

We we’re looking forward to have a great time for our 28th cruise with Viking. But it was one of the worst cruise. Especially no good activities. And many things don’t go well. It was huge disappointment.
